Stage 2
Sirshasana (headstand pose) Stage I: Sit in vajrasana.
Close the eyes and relax the whole body. After a few minutes, open the eyes, bend forward and place the forearms on a folded blanket with the fingers interlocked and the elbows in front of the knees. The distance between the elbows should be equal to the distance from each elbow to the interlocked fingers, forming an equilateral triangle. Place the crown of the head on the blanket between the interlocked fingers. Wrap the hands around the head to make a firm support so that it cannot roll backward when
pressure is applied. Stage 2: Lift the knees and buttocks off the floor and straighten
the legs.
